Canada is one of the world’s wealthiest countries, with a high per capita income and is a leading trade market. The country is frequently ranked as one of the best places to live in the world. It is well-known for its high living standards, clean environment, low crime rate, and excellent infrastructure.

One benefit of residence by investment in Canada is that your family is included in the application and there is no age restriction or net worth requirement. As a resident, you will have a high standard of living with affordable healthcare and many other benefits.

To crown it all, after three years (or 1,095 days) of physical presence out of five years, the startup visa allows for citizenship.

Requirements of the Programme: To obtain permanent residence in Canada, foreign entrepreneurs must propose an innovative start-up business, approved by a designated organization.

One of the following options must be chosen:

  • Business incubation: No minimum investment is required
  • Angel investment: Raise CAD 75,000 from an angel investment group, depending on a certain stage of the business
  • Venture capital fund: Raise CAD 200,000 from a venture capital fund, depending on a certain stage of the business

For all three options, additional fees apply for optional consulting, government fees, business structure, document processing, and immigration filing.

Investors are also required to:

  • Have English or French language proficiency at the CLB/IELTS 5 level
  • Be in good health
  • Have no criminal record

The procedures and time frame: To start an application, the client needs to draft and submit a business proposal for review and approval by a designated government business organization.

Thereafter, the client will receive a letter of support enabling them and their family to apply for permanent residency once they have received approval from a business incubator, an angel investment group, or a venture capital fund (depending on the investment option selected).

A physical presence will be needed for two out of every five years (or 730 days) in Canada necessary to keep permanent resident status. The procedure takes between 12 and 31 months.

How to Apply

  • Venture capital funds
  • Angel investor groups

These organizations decide which business proposals to review through their proposal process and evaluation criteria. You may be asked to present your business concept in person or to submit a detailed business plan, for example.
